EmpowerPro: Secure, Flexible Pipelines for Better Collaboration & Integrations

Keeping workflows smooth in industries like manufacturing or construction can feel like a constant struggle. Disconnected systems make it even harder—things fall through the cracks, processes get messy, and before you know it, efficiency goes out the window.

That’s where Quickbase steps in.

At our recent EmpowerPro session, Secure, Flexible, and High-Performance Pipelines, we covered some big updates to Pipelines. These updates are designed to simplify your integrations, help your team collaborate better, and keep your operations secure and running smoothly.

These Pipelines updates focused on key improvements to bring better connections, faster workflows, and stronger governance. Let’s break down what’s new and how these changes can make your day a little easier.

Meet the New HTTP Channel

Quickbase’s latest update brings a major enhancement: the HTTP Channel. This powerful new feature allows you to connect to almost any service or system with an API, giving you the flexibility that previous channels just couldn’t match. Before this update, users often found existing connectivity options limited, but the HTTP Channel simplifies everything.

What’s in it for you? You get the best of both worlds—improved security and ease of use. The HTTP Channel builds on the foundations of the JSON and CSV handlers, but with added functionality that makes integrating third-party services much more seamless.

Here's what you can expect:

• Easy Authentication: No more complex login procedures. The new authentication system is designed to be intuitive and hassle-free.
• Better Error Handling: Manage errors your way—select specific error codes to trigger different actions, or let built-in mechanisms do the work.
• Multiple Systems, Securely Connected: Connect to multiple systems while keeping sensitive data secure. Credentials are safely stored, so you don’t have to worry about security risks.

This update is set to simplify the way you handle third-party integrations, giving you flexibility to streamline your workflows.

Performance Upgrades That Deliver

When it comes to workflows, performance is everything. That’s why we’ve made some major upgrades to ensure you can operate at lightning speed.

• Faster Trigger Times: In some cases, trigger times for single-record operations are up to 22 times faster. Imagine entering data or syncing records and getting results almost instantly. Think about the time you’ll save!
• Bulk Trigger Feature: Got lots of records to process? The bulk trigger feature runs just one pipeline for multiple events, which means fewer errors and better performance.

These updates don’t just speed things up—they make sure Pipelines can handle real-time execution with ease. It’s perfect for organizations ready to leave outdated automation methods behind. With these improvements, you can be confident that your workflows will keep pace with your business needs.

Collaboration and Governance Made Easy

As teams grow, it’s more important than ever to stay organized and on the same page. That’s why we’ve added some great new features to help with collaboration and governance.

Connection Central Gets a Boost

Our enhanced Connection Central now gives you a clear overview of all your app-related pipelines. With this upgrade, you can:

• Resolve Data Conflicts Quickly: Spot and fix any issues with data transfers in no time.
• Troubleshoot with Ease: See exactly what’s going on with your pipelines and resolve issues as they happen.

Service Accounts for Better Teamwork

Sharing passwords is never the best idea. That’s why we’ve introduced Service Accounts. These let multiple people manage pipelines without the need to share passwords. Here’s how it helps:

• Better Security: No more password sharing means your data stays safe.
• Team Collaboration: Up to 20 users can access a single service account, so everyone can work together without compromising security.

Now, managing mission-critical workflows as a team is smoother than ever. With these tools, you can ensure that everyone stays in sync and on task, reducing the chances of miscommunication.

More Power to Admins

We’ve expanded the Admin Console with more data points and new tables for user tokens, pipelines, and connected tables. This gives admins even more control over data governance and workflow management, offering better visibility into what’s going on.

Admins can now easily track performance metrics and ensure compliance, making oversight simpler than ever.

Keep an Eye on Performance

Keeping tabs on how your workflows are performing is key to your success. We’re shining a light on performance visibility because it matters. With webhook automations ending in June 2025, you can count on Pipelines to keep things running smoothly.

These updates give you the tools you need for a seamless transition. You’ll have real-time insights into your processes, so you’re always in the know. These new features help you make smart, informed decisions without breaking a sweat.
